This North Korean border city has welcomed hundreds of thousands of Chinese day-trippers over the years, but — thanks to Koryo’s efforts — has been open to Western visitors since 2014. Accessible either as a day trip from Dandong, or as an overnight extension to any of our tours that exit the DPRK by train, a trip here will take you to the banks of the Yalu/Amnok river on the DPRK side, as well as a local art gallery, a kindergarten specialising in unicycling and performance skills (really!), a local park, museum, and (of course) statues of the DPRK’s Leaders. Either the day trip or the tour extension offer a great look at this frontier city.
If you're leaving Pyongyang by train then don’t miss the chance to add an extra 24 hours to your DPRK adventure with a stop in the country's frontier city of Sinuiju. You will see the sites of what is the main city in this region, and all the associated activity on the Chinese border — gaze across the river while wondering what it must be like to live under the shadow of such a different neighbour. This extension includes a full tour of the city, as well as an overnight in the countryside Dongrim Hotel.
There are several options available. If you wish to make the tour alone or with a group of friends this can be done at the following prices:
Group tours: EUR 210 per person
Independent tours:
1 pax – EUR 270 per person
2 pax – EUR 220 per person
3+ pax – EUR 210 per person
If you would like to make this visit to Sinuiju as an extension to any tour we offer then simply tick the box marked ‘Sinuiju Extension’ on the online tour application form, available here; http://koryogroup.com/travel_tourApplication.php.
Not included in the tour cost: 50 RMB to take a bus over the border to Dandong at the end of the trip. Please pay this amount in cash on the ground in Sinuiju.
An ideal day-trip for anyone looking for the shortest visit to North Korea possible, to see a different part of the country to usual visits, to add a little Korean flavor to a visit in North East china, or anyone on a Chinese ‘visa-run’ – take a day-trip across the Yalu/Amnok River from Dandong to explore the DPRK border city of Sinuiju and return in time for dinner.
There are several options available. If you wish to make the tour alone or with a group of friends this can be done at the following prices:
1 person = 2390 RMB
2 - 5 people = 1990 RMB per person
6 – 9 people = 1690 RMB per person
10+ people = 1390 RMB per person
If you are travelling alone and want to save money then you can join a Chinese group going at the same time. The program will be the same and you will also have an English-speaking guide. The cost for this is 1390 RMB per person.
